Reefer & all now getting hit hard!!!

They had their first case around the same time we did, we're not months behind them.

 

Maybe not with the first case, but we are with the overall effects.

 

Yep it's time to watch all the drivers who like to run run run start to panic . Miles could be down for a bit

 

I think it a given that even for the best positioned miles and rates are gonna drop off .
My better half wasnt excited but understood when I told her the other day we will be paying out every thing ahead of time and not spending anything extra just because of the uncertainty.

 

There’s stories on the news tonight that food (this story was tomatoes in FL)is rotting in the fields because they can’t sell it.........

 

Here you go... doesn’t make sense to me.

Coronavirus: Florida vegetables an unexpected victim of COVID-19

 

One things for sure lots of these owner ops that was shooting for the stars on the rates during the panic buying are gonna be the first sitting at home.

They wont be sitting at home cause they want to, they wont have a choice because the brokers will remember who they are and wont be offering them anything no matter how cheap it is.

Companies that's been fair and not rate gouging will more than likely be alright.

You are absolutely right !
And perfectly describes my pals .
They shamelessly robbed the meat brokers where I live in 2018 and bragged about it .
When things cooled off in 2019 those brokers wouldn't load them anymore and now all they get are the scraps .
We still talk but they have all kinds of lame excuses for why they dont haul for those brokers anymore...like I'm to dumb to know lol.
Told my carrier awhile back dont lease them on here.
